As a national federation of associations, the CWC’s members represent hundreds of manufacturers across the country.

WoodWorks (delivered by Cecobois in Quebec) is a Canadian Wood Council program, which is industry led and is intended to help increase the use of wood in non-residential, mid-rise and tall building markets in Canada. The initiative seeks to build proficiency in using wood through training, networking and direct technical support.
